FDM update and new version download problem

Postby Tony Wilson » Mon Nov 24, 2014 12:34 am

Hello,

I am currently using FDM 3.9.4 build 1472 with Windows 7 Professional sp1 and Internet Explorer 11. All available Windows Updates are installed. FDM is configured to update automatically.

I tried to update FDM using the help menu "Check for update now" and receive a reply that "You are already using the newest version".

I tried to download build 1481 from http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download.htm by clicking the green/blue download button and FDM started downloading from http://208.88.224.211/fdminst.exe. Is this url correct?

A warning message appears
" There are 4 of 12 of Free Download Manager's users reported that this download is malicious. The average rating for this download is 4.7
Show opinions about this download ?"

Clicking [Yes] to show the opinions loads:
" users say about this file:
No opinions have been posted on this file yet.
Be the first to write your opinion about this download "

Thanks in advance for any help,
Tony.

Thanks for the reply.
The warning message is from FDM opinions not my antivirus, Microsoft Security Essentials.

Kindly verify that the links that are included in my post are indeed the "official website".

Thanks,
Tony

Hi Purjuju,

Thanks for confirming that the problem exists.

I tried again today and the warning message now is:
"There are 4 of 18 of Free Download Manager's users reported that this download is malicious. The average rating for this download is 4.5."

I will continue to use the version that I have (build 1472) until someone on the FDM team has time to look into this problem.

Thanks,
Tony
